Unequaled Location next to Wilsons Ice Cream Parlor on Ephraim's Harbor and dock

Welcome to Heritage Harbor House, Residence 2. The greatest amenity is the location, very honestly the best in Door County. This home is situated in the charming historic district of Ephraim and has everything you need for a perfect waterfront vacation facing one of the most magnificent harbors imaginable. Just sit on your private porch and relax or step out to enjoy water activities where you find the private 21 foot dock. It is a water lover’s paradise-swimming, sailing, paddle boarding, boating, floating are at your doorstep. Boats and kayaks can be rented within a few steps. You can see one of the best golf courses and the largest, loveliest state park from your front porch. Peninsula State Park has miles of shoreline, hiking and bilking trails, beaches, a nature center, lighthouse tours, professional theater in addition to its 18 hole golf course overlooking Eagle Harbor.The famous little ice cream parlor, Wilson’s is next door so you will effortlessly be able to buy your cone and watch the glorious sunsets over the harbor from your private porch.

The abundance of windows in the residence allow for light filled water view rooms. Heritage Harbor House is one of the most historic homes in Ephraim, circa 1906. Included in its history is 50 years as the Doctor's house/office serving all of Northern Door County. And this residence was recently lovingly fully renovated with tremendous attention to detail. Everything is hand picked and reflects the happy and fun Door County lifestyle. The minute you walk in you will fall in love with this beautiful home just steps from the water. The residence is well furnished with a nice open floor plan. The warm sun room with many windows views the water and flows into the living room which features a wood burning fireplace which is the focal point of the room. The living room has plenty of seating for conversation. From here you walk directly into one of two dining areas and see the kitchen.

The kitchen has all new appliances and a large island counter with additional seating for casual dining. Perfect for those memorable vacation nights where the family cooks and talks together. A convenient half bath and laundry room are located on the first floor as well. The French door from the dining room leads you outside to a side yard for your private use with a gas grill for your grilling out.

All bedrooms are located on the second floor. The master bedroom has windows facing the water, a king bed, and an en suite bath with a double whirlpool/shower. Sleep overlooking the harbor with the sound of the waves. You will find the spacious second bedroom with a queen bed and a third bedroom with twin trundle beds. So the home offers a full variety of bed options. The second and third bedrooms share a full bathroom that has a separate shower and separate tub.

The house offers everything you might possibly need including dishwasher and dish soap, all dishes, glassware etc., toilet paper, hairdryer in each bathroom and more including your own washer/dryer. All clean linens and towels are provided. Of course, the best high speed wireless internet and cable TV. And central A/C. Expect an exceptionally clean house. Many hours are spent cleaning before you arrive to make it just right because that is most important to ensure your comfortable stay.

After you check in think about:
*Relaxing on the comfortable chairs on your private front porch, watching the water and reading, relaxing or falling asleep for a nap.
*Cook out or Cook in at your private home in the best Door County location right in the center of the Village just steps from kayaking, sailing, the beach.
*Grabbing a cone from that famous White Ice Cream Parlor, Wilson’s which is next door. Savor the nearby best dining locale like Alexanders, Trixies (next door), or Chop.
*Take a short walk along the shore to the Fish Boil for a delicious Door County traditional dinner experience.
*Plan a morning or afternoon hike or bike ride on the best trails in Door County that you can see in Peninsula State Park from the house.
*For wholesome memorable night theater for families or couples take in the Northern Sky Theater or Peninsula Players just minutes from your home.
*Visit unique galleries and shops.

Some families or couples will remember the sunset over the bay, others a special purchase from one of the galleries, still others some exhilarating recreational activity, good old fashioned companionship, fine foods, or retiring in a comfortable bed and breathing pure Door County air and just plain relaxing. We invite you to visit.

Stay at Ephriam
Very clean and everything worked as promised. Only problem, and not the owner's responsibility, was the cell phone coverage on the one-mile stretch where the home is located is completely nonexistent. So, you could not use you phone or navigation systems until you left the shoreline. But the location for other purposes is wonderful.

Wonderful Family Vacation in Ephraim
My family had the pleasure in staying at the Heritage House in Ephraim. Walking distance from Wilson’s ice cream, the Old Post office for the fish boil, walked down Ephraim Coffee Lab and the Bad Morovian for pizza. Just a fantastic location with a lot to do in a really beautiful community. The house was great, with a nice kitchen and plenty of room. The view from the front porch was unbearable.

Amazing and perfect!!
The house was absolutely perfect. It was exactly as described, and had a charm and feel that was in line with what the pictures describe. It is a home that was built over 100 years ago, and it was absolutely spotless. The windows, the linens, the floors - all of it was so clean you would think that it was just finished months ago. The accommodations were exactly as described and exceeded expectations. The owners were very quick to respond to simple questions (we had no issues check-in to check-out) and it felt as though we had a home away from home. I can honestly say this was an enjoyable vacation and home-away-from-home due to the fact that it was kept in immaculate condition. Property was as described - and as mentioned above, linens and towels were completely perfect. The boat dock accommodated our 21 foot open-bow speedboat easily. Bathrooms and kitchen were stocked with toilet paper, pater towel, and dishwasher needs very well. I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home!!

Ephriam Excellence
The house turned out to be much better than we expected. 2 large bedrooms and one smaller one on the top floor with two bathrooms. The lower floor had several rooms all available to sit in. The front parlor room had a lot of light and the covered porch was fantastic. Although the place is right next to Wilson's ice cream, that was more of a positive than a negative as we could simply walk around the fence to get ice cream and not have to worry about parking. Wilson's closes at 10pm so it is not really noisy after that. Ephraim is a very quiet town, unlike Sister Bay. The location was fantastic as we could walk to the Post office, Chef's Hat, Pearl and just about any other places in Ephraim. We used to stay in Fish Creek but for what we like to do, Ephraim is much better located. We only have positives to say about the place. The one negative we did experience was that Ephraim overall does not have good cell coverage and we struggled with that. The Wi-Fi at the house did work however. If we make it back to Door County, and we likely will, we will want to stay here.

Wonderful Property
I can't say enough about this property. The location was good. The view of the bay was so nice. It was so clean and very well stocked. The decor was cute and fitting for the building. Our favorite part was the front porch. It had good view of water and people but we felt it was still private. It had very nice furniture and we couldn't believe how clean it was. We could hear the people at Wilson's or the other restaurant next door but it wasn't loud.

GREAT place to stay
Last year I stayed on the upper level of this house - and this year the first floor as it had more bedrooms. This is an excellent location and a warm and wonderful house. I hosted a number of family and friends (not all of whom stayed at the house), but we did have a wonderful birthday celebration dinner which worked great with the large dining room. The home is comfortable and very inviting. The front veranda was a favorite spot to have a cocktail and watch the sunset. I LOVE this house and look forward to coming back again. Judy Pennington

Our secret hideaway
Have you ever discovered something that was so good that you thought about not telling anyone else, so you could keep it to yourself? That was what we found with the Harbor House in Ephraim. This was the first time we used VRBO and we were somewhat skeptical. What we found was the perfect accommodation with one of the best views in Door County from the front porch. It felt literally like we were staying in someone’s real home but someone who had it ready for company. Clean, comfortable, cheerful, and well-appointed. We enjoyed the week because we really felt relaxed and at home. The owners have a great property and do a great job.
